BUG[S]: Word in BWS reference box changes by itself

1) Open BWS.

2) Run a study on a Hebrew word, e g h:shaddai.

Less serious, but more common, version:

3) The right word is researched, but when I look at the reference box a bit later, the entry there has changed by itself into something else.

It doesn't happen every time, and so far I believe it's only happened in Hebrew. The word that turns up, always seem to be one that has been run shortly before.

More serious, but less common, version:

3) The right word changes by itself into another word, before the study is run. This is how that word in the box above first got there: I copied in שׁדי, but that word was run instead. And once it got there, it kept coming back even after I got the right word to run, as you can see. The words that turn up in these cases usually seem to be other words that have appeared in the dropdown, but sometimes they too are words that have been run shortly before: e g h:shaddai suddenly turned into holy earlier today, while I was testing this (the screen shots are from yesterday).

    I've been trying to reproduce this problem in both Mac and Windows. So far I've only been able to in Windows by doing the following: I choose the second match for h:shaddai, which is שׁדיאור, and wait for it to display results, and then I paste שׁדי into the Word box. The auto complete drop-down still shows שׁדיאור as selected, and if I press Enter before selecting  שׁדי, results for the previous word, שׁדיאור, are generated.

    I opened BWS in a floating window at about 22.50 in the attached logs, and started some experimenting. After the third or fourth search, the less serious problem above occurred: I had entered h:shedeur, and that run as expected, but when I looked shortly after (22.54), the box said דבר, which was the first word I had run. 

    Didn't manage to reproduce the more serious problem this time. I'll try to get some logs for you the next time it occurs.

    However, the last letter in the dropdown's English translation is now frequently cut off when the dropdown is only 1-3 lines:

    I only upgraded to SR-5 some hours ago, so it might be a new bug.

    I'm not seeing this in 4.3 B3. I'll check on another Mac and in 4.2a SR-5.

    Logos Bible Software 4.3 Beta 3 (4.30.0.0376) shows bit more for h:dava

    Observation: both h:dav and h:davar are OK.

    I'm able to reproduce problem 4.2a SR-5. In 4.3 B3 it looks fine, as you show in above screenshot, so I think we can safely assume some improvement in one of the 4.3 Betas has resolved the issue.
